Packet Processing Card Standby LED States

The Standby LED on a packet processing card indicates that software is loaded on the card, but the card is
serving as a redundant component. When the system first boots up, all installed packet processing cards are
booted into standby mode. The system must then be configured as to which packet processing cards should
be redundant (remain in standby mode) and which should be active.
The possible states for this LED are described in the following table. If the LED is not green, use the
troubleshooting information in the table to diagnose the problem.

Color Description
Green Card is in redundant mode.
Blinking Green Tasks or processes are being
migrated from the active SMC
to the redundant/secondary
SMC.
None Card is not receiving power.
OR
Card in Active Mode.
Troubleshooting
Verify that the Standby LED on a redundant packet processing card is also
blinking green. If so, there is an issue with the card that was active and is
transferring its processes.
Refer to Monitoring the System for information on determining the status of the
packet processing card and system software processes.
Verify that the Run/Fail LED is green. If so, the card is receiving power and
POST test results are positive. If it is off, the card is not receiving power.
Check the state of the Standby LED. If it is green, the card is in standby mode.
This is normal operation for the initial power-up. If needed, refer to the
Configuring Packet Processing and Line Card Availability section of System
Settings for information on making the card active.
Troubleshooting
The first time power is applied to the system, all of the packet processing cards
should be booted into the standby mode. Therefore, this is normal operation.
Verify that the Active LED on the redundant packet processing card is also
blinking green. If so, there is an issue with the active packet processing card
and the system is transferring its processes.
Monitoring the System for show commands, the outputs of which will assist in
further determining the problem.
System Logs for information on how to view logs.
The SNMP MIB Reference for information on associated status and alarm
conditions.
Verify that the Run/Fail LED is green. If so, the card is receiving power and
POST test results are positive. If it is off, the card is not receiving power.
Check the state of the Active LED. If it is green, the card is in active mode.
